Part II
FIRST LEAP
As most equestrians' know, the love of their love of horses is unparalleled. Both a partner and companion, the bond between rider and horse is a key factor in a winning team. This admiration is hard to put into words but can be best said by William Shakespeare: "When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk: he trots the air; the earth sings when he touches it; the basest horn of his hoof is more musical than the pipe of Hermes."
